Gotta love the bots providing social media "engagement" in the comments. Wonder how much Murdoch is paying for them?

He's been known for his tower climbs. Now, he's at it again — this time as FCC Chairman. Brendan Carr spent a part of Monday with a crew working atop an 1,800-foot broadcast tower in Alabama.

So let me get this right. He thinks we need more tower climbers. But wants to limit stations Non Com or Commercial on how they generate revenue and potentially ruin some broadcasters with investigations.

Has there ever been another FCC chair or commissioner who climbed towers?

I seem to recall that Ajit Pai went up on a cell tower, although those are considerably shorter than the one Carr went up.

And most of that tower climb was in an elevator/lift. Carr did not climb from the base up.
